46: Oceanarium Show

After feeding the bears, the two followed the flow of the crowd and soon arrived at the undersea tunnel.

This was a fully transparent glass corridor, with deep blue seawater overhead and all around. Huge manta rays glided overhead like flying carpets, schools of sardines shimmered in the light and shadow, and occasionally, a few ferocious-looking sharks could be seen slowly patrolling their territory.

The light here became dim and dreamlike, reflecting off people's faces with a shimmering ripple, carrying its own romantic filter.

"It's so beautiful here."

Gu Xinyu couldn't help but slow her pace, looking up at a large sea turtle clumsily paddling overhead, her eyes filled with the wonder of a little girl.

Jiang Yuan held up his phone to livestream, and incidentally aimed the camera at her.

Under the dim blue light, the profile of her face was gentle, her long hair was tied up casually, and her eyes were clear; she was as beautiful as a painting.

The livestream chat instantly erupted in howls:

"Screenshotted, screenshotted! This atmosphere is absolutely incredible!"

"Sister-in-law's looks are too top-tier, this is a raw, unedited photo!"

"Big boss, can you ask Sister Gu to turn around and smile? If I send a yacht, will that work?"

Jiang Yuan saw this comment and smiled: "Forget the yacht, but turning around to smile is doable."

He called out softly: "Xinyu."

Gu Xinyu turned around instinctively: "Hmm?"

In that moment of turning back, her eyes were slightly dazed, with a lingering smile still on her lips, and set against the blue light, she looked exceptionally moving.

"It's nothing, look at the camera." Jiang Yuan pointed to the phone.

Gu Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled generously at the camera, her eyes curving into crescents.

The chat was instantly flooded with comments like "I'm dying from cuteness."

Passing through the undersea tunnel and continuing forward, one reaches the Beluga Whale performance theater.

In front of the huge transparent exhibition pool, trainers in diving suits were dancing underwater with two beluga whales, sometimes spinning, sometimes pushing a ball; the scene was both beautiful and stunning.

The onlookers were packed three layers deep, their phones held up like a sea of light, and the sound of shutters clicked incessantly.

Jiang Yuan didn't go to squeeze into the crowd; he just found a good angle on the periphery and took a few silhouette photos of Gu Xinyu.

In the photos, she stood before the dim blue water, her figure slender, with the huge beluga whale swimming in the background; the atmosphere was maxed out.

Continuing along the route, they passed the exhibition areas for seals, sea lions, and walruses.

These guys looked a bit rough; some were howling there, others were sprawled on the shore sunning their bellies, their bodies shiny and greasy.

Gu Xinyu only glanced at them, her brows furrowing slightly, and her pace noticeably quickened.

"Why aren't you watching anymore?" Jiang Yuan asked casually while holding up his phone for the livestream.

"They look... a bit too haphazard." Gu Xinyu muttered in a low voice, "And they look a bit greasy."

This remark amused the viewers in the livestream:

"Hahahaha, Walrus: I feel offended!"

"Sister-in-law really knows how to judge looks; those who are ugly don't deserve to be on camera."

"Real talk, beauties only like to hang out with other beauties, or with cute things like beluga whales."

The two took the escalator to the second floor.

As soon as they got up there, a biting chill rushed toward them, instantly dispelling the heat on their bodies.

What came into view was a large polar simulation area enclosed by thick glass.

Inside were craggy artificial mountains covered in thick man-made ice and snow, and a group of penguins were waddling in a line on the ice, puffing out their round white bellies, looking quite adorable.

The view from the second floor was right at the top of the pools below, offering a wide perspective. Not only could they see the penguins, but they could also overlook the beluga and sea lion pools they had just passed, and there were dedicated feeding points nearby.

"Which one do you want to feed?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile, watching Gu Xinyu's eyes light up as she stared at the penguins.

"I want to try all of them." Gu Xinyu was honest.

"Alright." Jiang Yuan nodded. Whenever he saw a staff member coming over with a small red bucket of fish, he didn't even ask the price, just waved his hand: "This bucket, and that bucket, I want them all."

The staff were stunned; usually, tourists bought by the fish, but this guy was stocking up by the bucket.

"Alright! I'll get them for you right away!" The staff member couldn't stop grinning and quickly handed over the fish.

Thus, a magical scene appeared in the feeding area on the second floor.

Other tourists held a single small fish in their hands, teasing the animals cautiously for a long time, reluctant to throw it.

On Jiang Yuan's side, Gu Xinyu had a bucket in her left hand and a bucket in her right, just like a wholesaler.

She first ran to the penguin area and tossed the fish down by the handful, causing the group of penguins to scramble and dive into the water, splashing up a wave.

After feeding the penguins, she ran to the top of the beluga pool.

The beluga whales were indeed smart; as soon as they saw someone "splashing cash" above, they immediately surfaced, waiting with their big mouths open, and even let out sounds like children to act cute.

Gu Xinyu threw one, and it caught one; occasionally, it would even spray a small jet of water, as if interacting with her.

"Brother Jiang, it's really so smart!" Gu Xinyu turned around excitedly, her cheeks flushed.

Jiang Yuan leaned against the railing, holding his phone to record this scene for the livestream.

The chat was filled with jealous exclamations:

"Is this feeding fish? This is basically restocking the aquarium!"

"Look how happy Sister is; is this the romance of a Divine Magnate with money power? I've learned my lesson."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the chat, a smile playing on his lips. As long as she was happy, what was a little money for fish?

The two wandered around and, following the signs, arrived at a more spacious venue—the Marine Whale and Dolphin Show Theater.

They were lucky; just as they entered, the performance was about to begin.

Jiang Yuan didn't pick any front-row VIP seats; he casually found a spot in the middle with a wide view and sat down.

As the passionate music started, the calm water surface instantly erupted into splashes. A few dolphins shot out of the water like arrows released from a bow, tracing perfect parabolas in the air before gracefully entering the water again, their movements synchronized.

Following that, the trainers stood on the dolphins' backs, speeding across the water as if it were flat land, as if they had mastered the legendary "water-walking martial arts."

This scene was truly stunning; the cooperation between human and animal was seamless, and the various high-altitude ball-tossing and ring-jumping tricks kept people mesmerized.

The cheers on site rose wave after wave, and even Gu Xinyu couldn't help but take out her phone to record several short videos.

The livestream chat was even more flooded:

"Holy crap, did these dolphins have motors installed?"

"It's still better to watch it live; I feel cool just through the screen!"

"The young trainer is a bit handsome, but compared to our Big Boss Jiang, he's still lacking a bit."

The performance ended, and until the crowd began to disperse, many people still wore expressions of wanting more.

There was another "Sea Lion Legend" performance pavilion, but since Gu Xinyu had already expressed her dislike for sea lions in the exhibition area, Jiang Yuan didn't mention it again and skipped it entirely.

Seeing that it was past noon, their stomachs were starting to protest.

The two couldn't be bothered to find a restaurant, so they simply bought two fast-food burgers in the park.

Jiang Yuan held a cola in one hand and a burger in the other, eating while walking, without any of the airs of a so-called "Divine Magnate," instead eating with great relish.

Gu Xinyu wasn't pretentious either, taking small bites of her burger as she followed by his side.

This scene was captured by the livestream, sparking another wave of chatter:

"Big Boss's lunch: burger and cola."

"This is what you call knowing when to save and when to spend; buying a multi-million dollar car casually, but still enjoying a burger that costs a few dozen bucks."
